Strange Confession (1945)

"Strange things can happen to the brilliant mind, can't they, Brandon? Yes, you ought to know. You see it every day, all around you. In the courts, in the prisons, everywhere. The strange things that go on in the mind. Particularly a brilliant mind."

So... How long do you think until Lucifer's brat figures out you tried to sell Hell?

Successfully sold Hell, Mr. Marshall. And I doubt it'll take long, though I doubt there's much she can do outside of trying to throw me into the Torment Nexus.

Trying? You don't think she can get you in there, sir?

You misunderstand me, Mr. Carter. I fully expect her to get me in there... And then she'll figure out why I've been in business for so long. However, she's also level headed. Sparing her family will probably temper her ire quite a bit.

And... The Jenkins issue?

Oh yes... The Jenkins Issue. I believe I already have a solution. Oh Belphagor!

Yes, Lord Mammon?

You wouldn't mind being the new basis of our staff?

Of course, sir.

Very good, thank you Belphagor. Anything else?

The matter of Herald VonKraft is...

Oh he's fired, ten times fired, one hundred times fired!

I have to agree with Mr. Marshall. Thought we successfully sold Hell, Mr. VonKraft put his own selfless desires ahead of the company's bottom line. There's a possibility that if he has assisted with the evacuation it would've ended smoothly. As of now, Herald VonKraft is no longer an associate of Marshall, Carter and Dark.
